The short version
- ONVIS ‘s previously announced T20 AB2 outdoor smart plug is now available to buy , bringing Matter over Thread connectivity, Matter-based energy monitoring , and an IP65 rating to outdoor devices.

- The model now available is designed for the North American market , with an EU version set to follow at a later date.
What happened
One of the more notable features of the T20 AB2 is its support for energy monitoring through Matter. While energy monitoring itself is nothing new for smart plugs, historically this information has generally only been available through a manufacturer’s own app.
Why it matters
With its Matter 1.4.2 certification , the T20 AB2 can expose real-time power usage and energy consumption through Matter itself.
